From Russia with love.
The Prince George Cougars signed forward Dmitri Yakutsenak to an agreement today (Monday).
Yakutsenak was selected 49th overall by PG in this year’s WHL Import Draft.
The 2007-born forward from Yaroslavl, Russia, spent the 2024-25 season with the Loko Yaroslavl program, where he tallied 17 points (9 goals, 8 assists) in 39 games played.
“Dmitri is a strong-skating forward with excellent puck skills and sharp offensive instincts,” said Director of Player Personnel Bob Simmonds.
“He’s confident with the puck on his stick and we expect him to be a great fit with our forward group, bringing an added offensive spark to the club.”
Yakutsenak is expected to arrive in Prince George ahead of training camp, which opens at the end of August at CN Centre.
